Ah I did not realise, yes that's much tidier.

in fact help plot, that I read yesterday, includes that info but I misse=
d  =

it because I was looking for something else and failed to notice there w=
as  =

an assignment in there.

  Examples:
        plot sin(x)
        plot f(x) =3D sin(x*a), a =3D .2, f(x), a =3D .4, f(x)
        plot [t=3D1:10] [-pi:pi*2] tan(t), \
             "data.1" using (tan($2)):($3/$4) smooth csplines \
                      axes x1y2 notitle with lines 5

gnuplot is amazingly flexible but takes some time to get to know.

Thanks once again for your help.
